Hi everyone
We spent most of yesterday on Italian autostradas having crossed from France by the Frejus tunnel € 56 ! On our way towards the lakes we encountered various tollbooths some payment in advance to a person and a few automated ones until finally the last one went wrong somehow by us putting the ticket in followed by a Visa card which had been accepted in other booths . The toll card was spitted out several times as well as our Visa debit card and the queue behind was building ....finally I did exactly the same as before and the speaker
said Arrivederci ! And up the barrier went and off we went wondering what we had done wrong ! We still have the ticket! By then we had rejected 2 Aree de sostas one was up an impossible squiggly road and should not be in the Bord atlas St Antonio De Susa ....you would freak out if you were in a mini let alone a 7.5 m motorhome on the access! The next one was Chivasso where after another stressful stretch on bumpy road we discovered a circus on the Site!
Finally we arrived by a lake in Viverone in a campsite type aire ....don't know how much as yet since the assistant just said Domani , Domani and went .In the bord atlas it says €16 . It is Ok and has hookup but being the weekend it has a few noisy kids running around . We will be heading to lake Maggiore later and would appreciate any info about quiet aires or campsites there or anywhere in the Italian lakes .We try to avoid ones with pools and slides which are a kid attractant ! We have the Bord Atlas as well as the Acsi cc on board .
Any help would be much appreciated .
